Foster Moreau Off The Injury Report
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) logged another full practice session on Friday and no longer carries a designation heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 26-year-old has played in one game this season and has only two catches for 20 yards. However, with Juwan Johnson (calf) out, Moreau may receive an […]

Derek Carr Questionable For Week 5, Expected To Play
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5. However, Saints insider Mike Triplett reports that Carr "seems almost certain to play" after practicing in a limited capacity. It's also worth noting that the veteran quarterback was a game-time decision last week and managed to play. At this rate, […]
Juwan Johnson Not Playing In Week 5
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots. This comes as no surprise after Johnson missed all three practices this week. Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jimmy Graham will operate as the Saints' top tight ends for the duration of Johnson's absence, […]
Saints D/ST A Fringe Week 5 Play
The New Orleans Saints defense got shredded by Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield last week, giving up 26 points and 353 yards while grabbing an interception and recording one sack. The defense has steadily given up more and more points each week but could be in for a bounce-back week against a struggling New […]
Consider Starting Blake Grupe In Week 5
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe has only missed one field goal in his career, although it came at an inopportune time as it would have given the Saints a late lead in Week 3. This week, New Orleans travels to New England to take on the Patriots in what is expected to be a […]
Avoid Rashid Shaheed In Week 5
New Orleans Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed drew his season-high amount of targets (7) in Week 4, but failed to make a fantasy impact as he only grabbed three receptions for 33 yards. Shaheed remains a big play-dependent flex option but faces a New England defense that is tied for the league lead in the least […]
Jimmy Graham Could Split Tight End Work In Week 5
New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham drew a starter role in Week 4 against Tampa Bay but was not targeted and did not produce any statistics in the blowout loss. Juwan Johnson (calf) has not practiced this week, although Foster Moreau (ankle) is back to full participation and will likely split work with […]
Be Wary With Michael Thomas In Week 5
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas led the team with 53 receiving yards last week and has finished between 50-61 receiving yards in each of the first four games of the season. Expect much of the same this week against a New England Patriots defense that ranks 10th against opposing wide receivers. This week's […]
Chris Olave Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had a shaky Week 4, grabbing just one reception for four yards on six targets against Tampa Bay. In New England this week, it will likely be an even lower-scoring affair between the two teams. While the Patriots' rookie shutdown corner Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) is out for the […]
Alvin Kamara Grades As An RB2 For Week 5
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara made his first start of the season last week after returning from a three-game suspension and was a major factor in the dump-off game, hauling in 13 of 14 targets for just 33 yards. New Orleans faces an equally tough run defense this week, heading up to Foxborough […]

Johnson was hurt in pre-game warmups before the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and did not […]
Derek Carr Limited Again Thursday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in Week 3 but was surprisingly active in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carr threw for over 300 yards in his first game […]
